Star Odyssey

verse, and he learned that it would not be much longer before Tyrannical Weave reconnected to the rest of the Outerverse.
The Enlighter that the Nalan Family supported would soon appear, which meant that they would not need his protection for much longer. 

Many places in the eastern weaves that had once been isolated gradually returned to normal.

One day, Lu Yin was checking his star chart when a message came in that caught him unprepared: Peach had been captured.

Peach was the captain of the Great Yu Empire’s Sixth Squadron, and even if Lu Yin had made plans to eventually replace the original captains, he had not done any of that yet; Peach was still a captain and was entitled to the full authority of that position.
She was an important figure across all of the eastern weaves, but someone had still dared to make a move against her. 

At this time, the blind monk requested an audience with Lu Yin, who allowed the old man to enter. 

When the blind monk approached Lu Yin, he bowed respectfully and then quickly said, “Captain Peach has been captured.
Please save her.”

Lu Yin looked at him.
“I just learned of this as well.
Who captured her?”

The blind monk’s face turned ugly as he solemnly answered, “Neo-Vestige Sect.”

Lu Yin’s expression changed.
“Mordo Weave’s Neo-Vestige Sect?”

The blind monk nodded. 

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed.
Neo-Vestige Sect was no ordinary power.
 

When speaking of the Outerverse, although it’s territory was massive, the region’s overall strength was nowhere near as powerful as the Innerverse’s.
But even then, there were still a few Outerverse powers that even the Innerverse was unwilling to provoke.
According to some secret information, some of these powers could even rival the organizations from the Innerverse’s eight great flowzones.
Neo-Vestige Sect was one of these powers. 

On the surface, there were three great powers from the Outerverse that could cause even Innerverse forces to feel apprehension.
They were Mordo Weave’s Neo-Vestige Sect, Tyrannical Weave’s Millions City, and Endless Weave’s Dark Phoenix family. 

Millions City had gathered a considerable portion of the entire Outerverse’s wealth, and their slogan was “as long as you have the ability to enter Millions City, Millions City has the ability to make you rich.” Even the four great corporations held their most important meetings solely in the Millions City, as only this so-called “wealthiest city” was able to host them.
It was reported that even a beggar in that place could become rich—it all depended on whether or not one had the ability to sneak into the city to become one. 

With so much money, what could they not do? That was the Millions City’s foundation; their weapon was money. 

As for the Dark Phoenix family, they were known as the fallen Undying Bird.
They were the Innerverse’s Phoenix family’s mortal enemy, but they had also been banished from the Innerverse.
The members of this clan had the black flames of the fallen Undying Bird. 

The Phoenix family was an extremely powerful family in the Innerverse that had a massive foundation, and the fact that they remained low-profile did not mean that they had no strength.
Even the Daynight clan rarely provoked them, as there was someone from the Phoenix family among the Ten Arbiters.
Being mortal enemies with such a family and still existing showed how terrifying the Dark Phoenix family was. 

Neo-Vestige Sect’s strength could therefore be estimated since it was considered to be on par with Millions City and the Dark Phoenix family. 

The most famous organization in the eastern weaves was Neo-Vestige Sect, but all this time, it had remained sealed, and they had not interacted with any outsiders.
The network only said that the members of Neo-Vestige Sect were adept at using bows and arrows.
However, nobody knew any concrete details. 

When Ironblood Weave had drafted powerhouses from the Outerverse for its defense, Mordo Weave, Canopy Weave, Forested Weave, and various other weaves had been isolated back then, so nobody from those weaves had appeared.
If they had, the humans would not have suffered so terribly.

Speaking of Neo-Vestige Sect, this was the only power in all the eastern weaves that had spread across two weaves.
Neo-Vestige Sect held control of both Mordo Weave and Canopy Weave. 

“Has Mordo Weave reconnected?” Lu Yin asked. 

The blind monk quietly answered, “Ten days ago, the energy barrier fell, and the weave became unobstructed.” 

“Why did they capture Peach?” Lu Yin asked curiously.

The blind monk hesitated.

Lu Yin’s gaze trembled.
“If I had not looked into your backgrounds, I would have believed that you were all from Frostwave Weave.
Peach was originally from Mordo Weave, so is she somehow related to Neo-Vestige Sect? You’re the closest one to her, but she’s still under my command.
Tell me everything about her, or else I won’t be able to save her.
You should know what Neo-Vestige Sect’s strength is like, and they are not the same as Aegis.” 

The blind monk nodded and then solemnly replied, “Your subject truly doesn’t clearly understand the situation.
However, Peach once said that, if she disappeared one day, that it would be because of Neo-Vestige Sect.” 

Lu Yin stared at the older man.
“What else?” 

The blind monk and Lu Yin faced each other.
“I’m really not sure, but Peach once told me that Neo-Vestige Sect would not let her go.
Also, there’s one more thing—Peach is actually only twenty two years old.” 

Lu Yin was surprised.
“What? Peach is only twenty two?” 

The blind monk nodded. 

Lu Yin was astonished, as he remembered that someone had once told him that Peach was over 100 years old and that her appearance was because she had eaten some natural treasure.
“Doesn’t her background state that she’s over 100?” 

The blind monk shook his head.
“His Majesty altered that information for Peach.
She’s been acting like she’s experienced this whole time to pretend to be older than 100, and this is also why she’s always tried to maintain a large presence: to avoid being captured by Neo-Vestige Sect.
I never thought that Neo-Vestige Sect would still be able to find her after all this.” 

Lu Yin recalled Peach’s every movement and action and realized that he had indeed been too careless.
How had Peach ever seemed like someone who was older than 100? She liked to eat snacks, apologized when she had done something wrong, treated everyone sincerely, and had viewed Lu Yin as a friend.
Weren’t all of these a child’s characteristics? But he had actually believed her to be older than 100.
What a joke. 

Hold on, if Peach was just twenty two now, then that meant that, when they first met, she had only been around fifteen years old.
Just how had she cultivated to the Cruiser realm at that young age? Lu Yin stared at the blind monk in disbelief, and the blind monk seemed to understand Lu Yin’s doubt, but he shook his head.
“Your subject truly doesn’t know any details.
Your Highness, please save Peach.
She’s always treated you as her friend.” 

Lu Yin decisively summoned Aden as well as the blind monk, bringing them with him into a spacecraft that was headed towards Mordo Weave.
No matter the reason, he could not stand by and just allow Peach to be captured without doing anything.
Peach was his subordinate and also a friend.
